Thank you for sharing these photographs from your trip @slowwalker, it is well know that Buddhism is one of the oldest religion and it is a great respect to those people who keep the ancient architecture and holy places in good condition. From history we know that if someone wants to destroy the nation then they have to destroy the history, so it is in conflict area and during war, people did not have any thoughts about the historical meaning and did not really care, we see the recent events in Iraq when some old buildings we were made to dusts.

The bridge is not so small that I thought initially, once you see the people walking on it and the view from the side then you see the size. I think in old time people just build the bridges and did not think about safety, many old bridges in Scotland also have no bars.

The stone spring is looking like it was made centuries ago and still there since. I bet the water taste different. I think many people would believe that that water is special because of the place of origin.

Nice trip to Tongdo-sa Temple,taking for taking us with, @art-venture and @stef1
